OPRL executive director Stuart Lendrum said: “We have experienced the perfect storm, with OPRL’s expanding services and membership categories opening up just as public sentiment and political interest, inspired by Blue Planet II, challenged brands, retailers and the packaging industry to step up action on the design and recyclability of packaging, and to communicate this more effectively to consumers.

He added: “With UK Government backing and UNEP recognition as international best practice, our labels give the same simple, consistent advice to consumers whether you’re a tiny start up or an established global giant.

“This autumn sees new services coming online supporting recyclable packaging design, and piloting our consumer recycling app, enabling all members to demonstrate their responsibilities as producers. That’s an irresistible offer in the current trading environment.”
